I haven’t read this book since Sept of 2020 when I started it for school but didn’t want to admit it was a DNF until now. It is just as incredible as everyone says but given Everything I haven’t had the capacity for it. I *will* be finishing this book but I want to wait until I can do it justice, and at this point I will have to restart anyways.
